Tax-protesting former Idaho State Rep. Phil Hart successfully re-purchased his Athol home from the IRS at a public auction last month, but he missed an Oct. 22 deadline to pay the balance of the purchase price and is now appealing in court for more time. The IRS seized Hart’s log home to help satisfy his more than $586,000 federal income tax debt.

A plurality of Hucks Nation observed Halloween the old-fashion way -- by handing out candy to trick-or-treaters. However, another significant plurality ignored Halloween altogether Saturday night. Today's Poll: Are nasty, last-minute attack ads, fliers effective in a local campaign such as the Coeur d'Alene City Council elections?
It looks as though the supporters of incumbent Councilman Steve Adams and newcomer challenger Toby Schindelbeck have been misfiring all weekend. The Responsible Coeur d'Alene PAC, funded largely by Brent Regan, claimed in a flier that Mayor Steve Widmyer & Councilman Dan Gookin backed Adams & Schindelbeck. Not so.
CWM eloquently discusses something that came to mind when I read the material in an attack flier from Toby Schindelbeck's camp. Schindelbeck's supporters were outraged when this blog noted that he missed elections last May while tending to a dying father.

Now, she said the attackers are trying to make in-roads into the Coeur d'Alene City Council by pounding the same drum. She says those who do fail to recognize the achievements of urban renewal.
The Edinger campaign is appalled by a last-minute flier from opponent Toby Schindelbeck that attacks Edinger's council absences from May 2014 to February 2015 -- or approximately the time that Edinger was fighting for his life following a major surgery for a stomach aneurism.
An unusual alliance spoke out Friday against what it called “a last-minute attempt to deceive voters” in the Coeur d’Alene City Council races.

Jared Mauldin, a senior at Eastern Washington University in Cheney, didn’t expect the avalanche of responses he received after penning a letter to the editor of the school newspaper.
